Autism Innovations

Sherry Moyer from UT’s Center for Excellence in Autism discusses the need for early diagnosis to set young people on a strong treatment path for a better future as adults. Not all young people are diagnosed early, however, and face special challenges. An innovative new program called Agility Angels, pairs up canines and young people with Autism for dog training experiences. The teens build confidence and learn how to interact on a higher level of engagement.
